Abstract
To put things simply, Java 2D is an API to render two-dimensional graphics on surfaces such as computer screens, printers, and devices. This powerful API allows you to do things such as drawing geometric shapes, image processing, alpha compositing (combining images), text font rendering, antialiasing, clipping, creating transformations, stroking, filling, and printing.
